Archetype Entertainment's upcoming sci-fi adventure Exodus continues to develop well following former studio head James Ohlen's resignation. Ohlen stepped down last summer to prevent burnout, a decision he made with the support of Hasbro. Exodus, directed by a team of former BioWare veterans with narrative lead Drew Karpyshyn, aims for an early 2027 release.
Leadership Transition
Ohlen has been the driving force behind Archetype Entertainment for over six years. His departure was amicable, with the aim to avoid burnout, a common issue in creative intensive roles. Despite stepping down, Ohlen will continue contributing as a creative consultant at Wizards of the Coast.
Game and Team Details
Exodus, in development, features a compelling storyline centered around near-lightspeed travel and time-jump narratives. The trailer, revealed at The Game Awards with actor Matthew McConaughey, has garnered attention. The team, rich with ex-BioWare talents, maintains its focus on delivering a narrative-rich experience.
Future Plans
While Ohlen shifts his focus to tabletop endeavors through Arcanum Worlds, wherein he plans to release Hasbro-funded books, Archetype remains committed to the 2027 target for Exodus. The game is available for wishlisting, reflecting anticipation within the gaming community.
